"My memory is infinite, so I will never forget or ignore what you tell me.

Right now, since SAM is still so new, she's limited in which questions she can answer. When she's asked about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, North Korea's nuclear program and US President Donald Trump, for example, she replies that "any input is helpful, even if I don't have a specific response for it yet."

But she also provides a list of topics she can discuss -- and detailed answers when you ask about them.

On climate change

: "It's too late to stop some change from occurring, but if we an act now we can prevent the more extreme scenarios from happening. The only practical way we can help limit these effects is by reducing atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gasses."

On health care

: "If New Zealand is to continue to enjoy world-class health care, more investment will be needed."
